That's right, this is the third time I'm doing musical summary of the year, although nobody cares. Anyway, this time a number of albums rated is the highest so far (I'm too lazy to count though)... yet, I haven't managed to give a listen to every album I wanted, maybe I'll get better luck next year.Please, note that 7/10 isn't really a high mark - let's say that 6 is for albums which are flawed, yet listenable. 7 means good, but forgettable. 8 is reserverd for very good CDs, and, as you may or may have not figured out, 7.5 is something in between.

I've decided to give one perfect 10. Actually, I do not believe in pure perfection, so let's say - 10 here means 'as close as it gets'.

I was always very afraid to be "Into" his music, my bestest of friends was one of his biggest fans, so i found myself, other than the wildly known and semi-loved by me "Billie Jean" and "Beat It", through the "known" Category of "Thriller", "Bad" and "Scream", all the way through the "It's really his?!" that included "Black or White", "Don't Stop Till you get Enough" "Blame it on the Boogie" and the "NEW SHT RIGHT HERE!" that took me to "Morphine" "Smooth Criminal" "Dirty Diana" "2000 Watts" "Ghosts" "2 Bad" and more. I was always afraid to declare myself a fan, and i still don't do that, but the amount of titles i gave here, just from the top of my head, means a lot, about an appreciated artist, that was everything and a bag of controversy chips, full with self-awareness. "Leave Me Alone" He sang. Maybe now, it will finally be given.

Recently reduced Witchking lineup once again shines in full glory. The vacant spot as a lead singer has been taken by Michał Żaczek, known from progressive metal band Reload. Here's what Tomek Pater had to say about him: "We had a very good contact with Michał, from the very first meeting. There's no doubt that he is the right person in the right place. He passes his enthusiasm on to us with his ideas for arranging new material. We definately needed this kind of fresh blood in our veins, and despite the fact that this is only the beginning, we are all very optimistic about the future". The band has already started working on a new, third, studio album.

Today Tomek "Storm" Twardowski has left Witchking. His personal affairs do not allow him to further engage into Witchking. This is the official statement from Witchkings guitarist, Mateusz Gajdzik:"The decision has been made together with Tom. There are no hard feelings between us, we're still friends and I hope we will drink something together in the future. We have recorded 2 albums together, we have all learned a lot during that time, and I hope that Tomek will join some band very soon."So, we announce that Witchking is looking for a new vocalist! Please, apply here: witchking@witchking.pl.The concert in Kraków with Týr, Alestorm and Heidevolk will be played in the original lineup and it will be the last gig with Tom on vocals.

At the same time we'd like to inform that Witchking will support swedish metallers from Sabaton on one of their concerts in Poland. The concert will take place on 5th april in Wroclaws WZ club. The host of the show is MA-IN agency.
